Standard Chartered: British bank accused of scheming with Iran to launder billions

[Mark Stapleton]

My sentiments exactly.

How dare the US prohibit the world from dealing with Iran, just to satisfy Zionist hatred.

Compared to the US and Israel, the Iranian Government is a model global citizen. And the impact of sanctions and financial banishment is borne by millions of innocent Iranians.

Try sending money to Cuba and it not getting confiscated by the US banking system. Even if you use an Australian bank direct to Cuba.

So?

Are you implying Zionist sanctions and isolation of Iran are OK?

What did Iran do to deserve this?

How the fuck do you come up with that assumption Mark? It is really quite clear and unambiguous. Every time I or some one I know has tried to use the banking system to send money to Cuba the money has disappeared. It has been confiscated by the US Treasury. This is despite not using any US banks. It means bankers are bastards and US bankers are bastards. What the fuck is not to understand? I thought every one knew bankers were bastards and I thought every knew that the US thinks they own the bloody world. I've never known people to have trouble sending money to Iran. Although that may change given the new sanctions against Iran like Cuba has had to live with since 1962 or so. Sanctions are not okay against Iran or Cuba or any other peaceful country. There should be sanctions against the US.

I sympathise with your frustration with sending money to Cuba but this thread is about US regulators enforcing financial sanctions on Iran. Also, the war crazy Israeli regime isn't baying for war with Cuba. They are demanding a military attack on Iran, Magda.

As you know, American interference in Iran has a history. The USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian passenger plane in 1988 killing all on board. That plane was flying in Iranian airspace. The hostage crisis in 1979 was manipulated to serve domestic American political interests and the CIA deposed Mossadegh and installed the Shah way back in 1953. So how long has America been causing trouble for Iran? Well, it begins around the same time Israel came into existence.

The demonizing of Iran in the western media and the economic sanctions designed to punish Iran have one source--Israel.

And what has Iran done to deserve this? Not a bloody thing.
